Director Statement

I consider "Break In" as my first short film. I have never put in this amount of time and effort in any of my work as much as this one. I will be honest, my original idea was way more ambitious. This is also my first film that is very focused on dialogue. In the end, I am very proud of everybody's work. from the crew to the actors, they did all terrific job. I may have not reach my original goal and idea, but I think this is a good start for me as an upcoming film maker.
